[Supras] eibachs?

[Jeff Mohler]

Better than Koni's would be purpose build reallly pricey stuff.  The $400ish
cost for Koni's is about 1/2 of what the next step up in overall quality
would cost.

You CAN spend less or equal, and get those externally adjustable way way way
more adjustable compression & rebound struts, but IMHO, they do not survive
as well.  Rebound is the most critical setting by very far, and 80% front
and 95% rear on the yellows is about right.
